[Sexuality in an institution: a source of questioning for caregivers].

In the Pas-de-Calais (62), a principle is clearly stated in a psychiatric clinic created in 2005: the unit is not a suitable place for sexual relations. The reasoning behind this statement relates to the vulnerability of the patients and the pathologies present. Priority is given to the care. Even if this basic principle is clearly stated in black and white in the internal regulations, the teams are nevertheless confronted with sexual activity among the patients, causing them to question the approach.
